    That's easy ;China regularly trades its veto power at the United Nations for access to the oil and other natural resources of rogue nations like the Sudan, Burma and Iran.

    Here's how it works . The Chinese sell them weapons and this increases Burma's burdensome debt to China .Which they pay back with oil and gas.

    Tom, it is not China alone or the US alone, but it is America who is the loudest for liberty in the world…. “Foreign investment in Burma's oil and natural gas sector is especially significant. Sales of natural gas account for the single largest source of revenue to the military government. Gas exports accounted for fully half of the country's exports in 2006. Burma's gas business brought in revenue of US$2.16 billion in 2006 from sales to its main buyer, Thailand. These funds flow directly to the government and provide the junta with a major source of financing that is completely independent of its citizens.

    Current investors in Burma's oil and gas industry include companies from Australia, the British Virgin Islands, China, France, India, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, Russia, and the United States.

    We should invade their country, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.

    The world sits, watches, and does nothing but talk…remembrances of the Holocaust as cremations continue.

    Quite a difference from when the world rallied in it's support of the Polish Solidarity movement .

    Yesterday that champion of human rights Jimmy Carter said that calling what is happening in Sudan genocide is not helpful.
